I thought so too, although he did step up when it got tough. He's already proven and I don't want to hold it against him because he's continues to fight back, but it might not be in his control. I said b4 that fight that I wasn't convinced he could see or react fast enough to right hands 100% anymore because of that eye. Then he goes out and gets dropped hard by one in the 1st round. The guy he fought before Green was landing flush rights too, he just had no power. Green himself isn't even known for his right necessarily so seeing him caught like that early is still something I keep in mind when watching Mikkel fight.

Outside of the Codrington KO, Green is known to blow opportunities in fights....he should gone for the kill when he had Kessler hurt. If Froch even thinks he see's Kessler trip on his shoelace, he will be all over him...and froch punches hard with both hands. this might be a totally different fight now. Kessler's chin isn't bad but if getting hit flush at this level is hard to overcome

i guess the good thing for Kessler is that Froch is slow and wide enough to give him a little extra time to see the shots coming which could help him adapt to where he can be effective himself. He did it pretty quickly against Green but I just don't think he can do it for the whole fight against Carl this time....i guess I will pick Froch late TKO.

Only two outcomes: Kessler KO or Froch UD. I say Kessler stops Froch late in a great fight.

Yeah the worry for kessler is that froth has straightened up his shots in particular his right hook which mickey is mire susceptible to
